Simply Fabulous Free and Under L$75 Finds in Second Life – Since 2007

Tag Archives: Mimi’s Choice

So, one of the things I love about SL, you can walk around in heels anywhere, and not worry about how easy or difficult it will be depending on terrain or flooring! I found myself surrounded by wheat fields and water while wandering around today, and despite wearing some killer platforms, it did not matter. I thought I would pretend to be a super model posing in a really odd location that has nothing to do with what I am wearing. LOL!

Before wandering around a wheat field, I wandered into Mimi’s Choice. If you have never been there, it is a gathering of some of the best stores in SL, all in one place. Best thing about it is, there is a Mimi’s Choice group, and several of the stores have placed out group gifts for those Mimi members. I’m showing off 2 items for you. The first is the gorgeous Leslie dress from Zanze. When you hit the picture of this dress, you are given a hud that allows you to have the standard sized mesh dress you need delivered to you, and then serves as a colour changer. It’s really handy, since you only need to have the one size you wear, and do not need to get the others if you don’t want to. You have 3 other colour choices for the dress, so you are sure to find one you like. The second item, from Chop Zuey this time, which is conveniently located right across from Zanze, is the eye-catching Black Rose Rattler Cuff Bracelet. You actually get 3 of these bracelets when you click on their gift sign, each with a different design for the main stone. The one I am wearing is based on an ed hardy design. This is not a bracelet for those of you who like delicate and dainty! LOL. The Mimi’s Choice group is free to join, and make sure you have a good look around the 4 buildings, as there are loads of other group gifts scattered throughout, including men’s gifts!

I know you are eyeing up my skin. I would be if I were you, but then I am a skin nut :P I am wearing the oh-so lovely Quinn from Essences, and she is available at the current round of The Dressing Room Fusion, for only L$70. You have your choice of the Medium 2 tone that I am wearing, and a paler tone. I love the pale yellow shade of the eyeshadow, combined with the almost-bare lips, so soft and pretty!

OK, that’s it for me, I gotta see if I can find my way out of this field. IDK how I even end up in these places sometimes :) . The fun of SL!! Until next time, TTFN!

You know, I always find it amazing when some place has been around for a long time and I’m just finding it…. *laughs*…. Such is the case with Mimi’s Choice. WOW, Mimi certainly has some amazing merchants with shops in her place…. Plus there are little goodies spread out amidst the lot for you to discover along the way…. Most are for her group “Mimi’s Choice” which is free to join. She even has two female AOs for free for her group members right at her landing point. Feel like dancing? Well she has music piped in as well as dance balls (single / couple) right there for you to enjoy as well…

I spent the afternoon typing up this post and shaking my booty….

Today’s too cute skin choice is from JeSyLiLo. If you are a group member (50L to join), you can take part in the Find My Pumpkins Hunt that runs until November 20th. You can search for 20 hidden pumpkins instore and gain wonderful prizes such as skins, makeup layers, eyes, clothing, shapes etc. There is even a face tattoo and shape for men! Shown below is the 2012 Autumn Light Skin 1 and 2. The eyes are Katy Eyes in Autumn Green (also a hunt prize).

I just can’t decide which shoes go best with the Modesty Dress I just picked up at Sassy. The Modesty Dress is part of the Zombie Popcorn Hunt, so all you have to do is locate the popcorn icon in store and this dress is yours for free. The back of this dress is very cute with the mid back band as well as the clasp at the top. Also note the adorable hair I am wearing, as it is free too. The hair bow on the back is super sweet and is a group gift from ROGE which is free to join. It comes with a resizer script as well as it is colour change.

Back to the shoes… What do you think? Do I wear the Blossom Reptilian Funk Pumps that I picked up at Seraphim? Or maybe the N-Core Coquettes in Pink… or Turquoise maybe… This is going to be a tough decision. The Pink Coquettes can be found inside the Womenstuff Icon at N-Core and the Turquoise Coquettes at Mimi’s Choice in the N-Core Section.

The black wardrobe behind me with open drawers and doors is the Womenstuff Hunt gift from Icons of Style. It has a few different poses and is an excellent prop for bloggers or for furnishing your home.

Sweater season is upon us and I have two great pullovers that will look great this time of year. Gizza Creations has provided a group gift for Mimi’s Choice. The Argyle Green-Blue Sweater is available by the Gizza display and there is a group joiner by the sweater for your convenience.

Another group gift can be found at Funk. The Taz Cranberry Knit Outfit includes a striped sweater and leather pants.

Find the Walker Outfit by Sartoria at Mimi’s Choice. This free gift includes an open white shirt with a blue vest, jeans, and a fedora. While you’re there, look for other gifts from the designers that have displays at Mimi’s Choice.

One tiny little linden will buy you this whole lot of seductive lingerie set from Seldom Blue! This set is called Romana and is a full priced new release in the other colours, but you can pick up the black for 1L at the Ocean’s alternate location!

Letter L finally came up on both of these lucky chair prizes at Sassy! Sassy is so generous with her group gifts, hunt items, lucky chairs and midnight mania boards, it feels like Christmas every time I visit!

Shredded Dress in Red was my first win and is a hot little number! It’s a shredded strapped mini-dress with matching panties that peek through. The colour is gorgeous!

I have added The Red Bonnie Shoes which is the latest free group gift from Mary Jane Shoes. The group is free to join. These shoes come with an options hud and are very well made shoes.

My second lucky chair win was the Sassy Seduction Dress in pink. It features spaghetti straps and side straps – really cute dress! I am also wearing Tres Beau Ribbon & Pearls Earrings and Choker set which I picked up at Mimi’s Choice for 1L. The ribbon is colour change so you can match it up with you outfits!

I went shopping around yesterday and found a few goodies perfect for a night out on the town! Please excuse my grainy pictures – I have switched veiwers and am struggling to find just the right settings all over again lol.

Look #1:

Hair Softens has a new group gift for its members. The group is 100L to join, but they do have two group gifts up and change them every few weeks. I have picked up quite a few cute styles as group gifts over the past few months. This month’s group gift is called Lily and comes with the beautiful flower band.

The fuschia dress in the photo below is from Red Passion and is a dollarbie in their store. By the looks of it, they will replace it next week – so if you want this dress, you better go quick! You’ll have to join the group to take advantage of this 1L deal, but the group is free.

As I was snooping around in Jadore’s area at Mimi’s Choice, I noticed that there was a free gift on the floor just across the aisle from Tattanooga. I love when freebies just fall in my lap! Tattanooga has a free gift for men and women. The women’s gift is the great eyelash tattoo I am wearing in the photo below.

Mimi’s Choice has a few gifts to be picked up along the way in the shops there. I was so excited to find this fun shopping bike outside one of the shops – now this is shopping in style! You can ride it while you shop as it comes complete with bike riding animations. The dress I am wearing is a free gift from Gizza called Lolita Cherry that comes with the dress and leg tattoo. The sassy summer hair with hat is courtesy of Orage Creations for 1L!

Use the easy TP sign to navigate your way to the shops you want to go to or wander around and see what wonderful surprises you come across.

The skin I am wearing is a new dollarbie called Julia from Mamboo Chic! I am a big fan of Mamboo Chic skins – and they are so very generous with gifts and dollarbies!
